Hi,

I removed the check for !numfds and now it works perfectly for both
versions, with c-ares and the threaded resolver. Calling
curl_multi_perform if numfds is 0 seems not to be a problem.
Anyway, c-ares is a little bit faster in my case, so I'll stick with that.

Thank you very much for your assistance!
